Look at Figure 8-6. Part (A) shows the lower half of a fusiform initial (actually most fusiform initials would be much taller than this), and part (B) shows the same cell after it has divided and one of the daughter cells is developing into a xylem cell. Did the fusiform initial divide with a periclinal wall or an anticlinal wall as it went from part a to part b? Part (D) shows that the same fusiform initial has now produced a second cell that is developing into a phloem cell. Was that phloem cell produced by a periclinal or an anticlinal division of the fusiform initial? Part (F) shows the fusiform initial dividing and forming a second fusiform initial. Is this division occurring by a periclinal wall or an anticlinal wall?
